Nigeria’s Head Coach, Stephen Keshi has named a list of 23 players to battle for shirts ahead of the first leg of the 2014 FIFA World Cup final elimination fixture against Ethiopia’s Walya Antelopes in Addis Ababa.

The African champions take on the Antelopes inside the National Stadium, Addis Ababa on Saturday, 12th October, 2013. Both teams will clash in the return match at the U. J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar on Saturday, 16th November.

Headlining the list are stand-in skipper Vincent Enyeama, England-based midfielders Mikel Obi and Victor Moses, and forwards Brown Ideye and Emmanuel Emenike.

Keshi has called three goalkeepers, seven defenders, seven midfielders and six strikers as the Eagles aim for a win in Addis Ababa to make the second leg in Calabar a much easier session.

Home-boys Chigozie Agbim, Francis Benjamin, Solomon Kwambe, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Sunday Mba return to high-level furnace as part of their build-up to the 2014 African Nations Championship in South Africa.

sunday mba's move 2 Bastia fc in france didnt work out again afta d club proposed 2 pay a little amt of the transfer fee & pay d remaining later...the Nigerian club didnt agree

this is based on merit

these are the same niggaz that brought us the African nations cup


now shut the f up and support yr team

Musiwa have murdered this fine thread. This guy should be in chains and gagged as well.

Nigeria should play the away match in Ethiopia as if it is the only determinant for our qualification to the world cup.

No draw or loss please, to avoid stories that touch, truth be told Nigeria has not been inspiring in its world cup qualifying games judging by its results.
